You may not be keen to hear this, but I think this picture is 10x the flex of your skills as that pic of Alex on the black sheet. Anubis's anatomy is rock solid and he's perfectly on model. His shoulders and his hips are in balance as he takes his step; framed by the position of his headdress/the tuft of chest fur, and the strap of his bikini/the cant of his pelvic "V." There's a subtle but very present kinetic swagger in the pic and every piece is in its proper place.
I'm not sure how hard you actually worked, but you made it seem effortless. Like you were in a state of flow while making it. This pic has the look of "the artist's confidence in his own abilities."
